If you are taking the time to submit a game thread, we appreciate it! But we'd also be really pleased if you use the thread generator tool to help keep things on an even keel formatting-wise. It also makes putting together a game thread dead easy!

IMPORTANT: You have to enter the correct game time on the generator yourself. Make sure to fix that before you submit!

I agree that it would be hard impossible to enforce, and I didn't mean to suggest that we would make it mandatory. Just that we should suggest it to those who submit the game threads to make the threads even better.

It makes complete sense, but I am afraid it will discourage people from posting game threads. I'll make a post about it later/tomorrow and see what the general opinion on the idea is. I feel like most people would be in favor of it.

It's considered vote manipulation when applied to threads. One of the admins came to us and very politely asked us to stop including wording to that effect in our posts. So, shrug. They run the website, their rules.
